Default Rear Bumper Protection

Does anyone know of a product (rubber or chrome
cap?) to protect the top of the Allroad rear
bumper? I have had the car 7 days and it has
already picked up two scratches. The plastic
seems very soft. Anyone else have the same
problem?

Default Speaking of protection, those of you who have the clear bra product, where else would you have it...

installed now that you have had the car for a while? I will be between Denver and Vail year-round, and so I'm planning on the entire front of the car-and anywhere else you all say I should put it!

Default additional areas for clearbra

I had the Stongard package installed 6 months ago. They also put it in the door handle indentations (to protect against sharp fingernails) and around the door outer edges. The product they used for the head and fog lights is 10 times as thick (80 mil) as the regular bra (8 mil), so it really will stand up to large stone hits.

Default Good idea on the door handles. The ClearBra material is 12 mil thick and 40 mil on the lights.

The ClearBra is actually made up of 2 layers (one hard to protect & one soft to absorb impact) so the protection is amazing. I had it on my S4 and am a believer in this stuff.<ul><li><a href="http://www.clearbra.net">http://www.clearbra.net</a</li></ul>
